Religion & Spirituality - 14 July 2006

You all wanted sources, well my sources came from a show on evolution but here's some others I found on the internet:
http://www.laattorneyvideo.com/nonlegal/pterosaurs/DH/

http://www.bookrags.com/researchtopics/mysterious-monsters/sub5.html

http://www.ropens.com/main/

If those aren't good enough proof for you just type in "pterodactyl sightings" in a search engine.

if any of these statement are false, please post your whys' and wherefores'...
10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."

3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian

"The FOOL has said in his heart, 'There is no God...'" Psalm 14:1
I think it takes more "faith" to believe we came out of nothing than to say that we are created in the image and likeness of a loving God!

Can someone explain to me about Evolution please, in few words as possible? I don't want web sites please. I wanna know from the very beginning what cause something to Evolve. DId it start from a single cell? And did it take years for things to keep evolving? What was the first thing to Evolve, and how long till the next thing evolved? This is a serious question, and no I don't believe in Evolution, but wants information.

At least the origin and some history will suffice. I'm especially interested in it's relationship to the Christianity.

I know many Christains lead others in prayers. It could be the prayer of salvation or any other prayer. By leading in prayer, that could mean talking to the person, praying first and then they pray, or they repeat after you. I pray with and for people all of the time, and I have no problem talking with someone about whatever and praying first, and then letting them pray (or the other way around). But I try to avoid the repeat after me prayers because I question their sincerity. That is why I'm asking this question. What do you think?

One of the most important and foundational principles of the laws of physics is that "matter can neither be created nor destroyed..."

and before I go on, I just want to say that this law, this fact, is backed by every scientist and textbook and encyclopedia in the world... (maybe not EVERY, but..) so at least wikipedia the darn thing if you don't know what you are talking about...

So, not that I am promoting intelligent design in any way, but if matter can neither be created nor destroyed, than how did nothing (that's a hard thing to imagine - actual nothingness) explode and create all of the matter in the entire ...universe...?

You are negating one of the most fundamental and proveable ever scientific beliefs in the process!

Isn't this Big Bang thing just as rediculous as intelligent design? Instead of saying "God came from nothing and created everything in the universe" you are saying "Nothing came from nothing and created everything in the universe."

Good book, "More than a Carpenter". Anyhow have you ever thought about what if it really is true? What if He is who He says He is? What would that mean?

I was only a child. Can someone comment on what it was like to be open minded and liberal as compared to today in the US? Hopefully someone who was an adult in the 70's r late 60's.

Is it better now for minorities, jews, gays, blacks, women ....or was it better in the past?

Scientists have tried to prove for hundreds of years that evolution is true. The only way evolution could be true is if there were no missing links right? Well, they have recently spotted teradactyls in Papua New Guinea which means that teradactyls have never evolved and according to evolution everything evolves sooner or later. Because teradactyls have never evolved into other creatures, that makes evolution false. And you say God isn't real....go ahead and explain why He isn't because I think even the scientists are proving you wrong now!

experience on hallucinogenics?

Try not to be an uptight conservative. I am not interested in the moralisations about drugs. Castenead is an anthropologist who studied and experienced these things south of the border.

He says that he believes there is no God, but that nature has processes that take care of itself, that is what he believes in. He says that nature makes no mistakes and believes things prosper for a reason. He's a big believer in survival of the fittest, yet he's a large advocate of homosexuality. More so in woman than men (I believe that's hypocritical, but thats beside the point). Well, he states that nature will take care of itself, but homosexual lifestyles are not self-preserving, so can he support survival of the fittest and support homosexuality, when at it's roots, it can maintain life with merely natural means?

Think about this; Eve was the mother of sin, right? So she's the one who screwed it up for all of us. So do you think if God made Adam and Steve and gave them a way to procreate, it would be better for all of us today?

Isn't this an admission by "god" that his creation was flawed and required a correction? And therefore isn't it evidence that "god" is not perfect and thus, not omnipotent?

Can we refrain from beliefs and opinions and focus only on the facts regarding this issue?
